The narrative process and the geological process: the narrative of the geological history of a natural site

, 2022
Nous nous intéressons à la reconstitution de l’histoire géologique d’un géo-site par un médiateur scientifique qui intervient « sur le terrain ». Une telle médiation suppose d’articuler la topographie de l’excursion avec le parcours narratif mis en place par le médiateur.Nous montrons que la mise en récit pré-figure les événements géologiques en ...

Assessing Photovoltaic Recycling Capacities and Policy Gaps in the European Union

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study maps photovoltaic recycling capacity in the EU and key global regions, highlighting gaps between growing waste volumes and available infrastructure. It combines survey insights and policy analysis to identify recycling bottlenecks and offers recommendations to boost circularity in the solar sector.

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Sustainable Pd‐Catalyzed Aminations “on Dirty Water”

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Aminations, done safely yet neat, and therefore, quickly, using low levels of Pd, in “dirty water” that must contain 30% KOH; not NaOH, and not at 5%,10%, 20%, 40%, or 50% KOH. Moreover, no base sensitivity of functional groups! Very cool. Thank you, Nature.

Well-Preserved Structure of Silicified Wood: A Case Study from Qitai Silicified Forest, NW China and Its Silicification Mechanisms

Plants
The Qitai silicified wood from Xinjiang, NW China, provides an exceptional archive for investigating the mechanisms of wood silicification. This study applies microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to characterize the

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.
